Summary

This trial is looking at how well a muscle assessment score can predict adverse outcomes in people who need a liver transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with end-stage liver disease who are being evaluated for a liver transplant and can safely undergo an MRI. It's not suitable for those who have conditions that make MRI scans unsafe for them.
What is being tested?
The study is looking at how muscle composition, measured by a special score from MRI images called MAsS, might predict complications or outcomes in people waiting for liver transplants.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study uses MRIs to assess muscle composition and doesn't involve medication or invasive procedures, there aren't direct side effects related to the intervention.
